My father is an Uzbek, a Soviet Soldier

The article discusses the participation of Uzbek soldiers in the Great Patriotic War and the factors that contributed to the formation of inter-ethnic cooperation and friendship, which influenced their mindset. The author argues that the character of the Uzbek soldiers was shaped on the basis of the Russian mentality, culture, and willingness of the Russian soldier to assist a friend regardless of their nationality. At the same time, the Uzbeks preserved their national and religious identities. In author’s opinion, common achievements during the Soviet era, as well as the preservation and strengthening of relations and cooperation in economic, cultural, and educational fields, play an essential role for the people of the currently sovereign states.
